Underlining a certain portion of a UILabel

Question

I need to underline a certain portion of a UILabel as the title suggests. For example: Please click ESPNSoccernet to read the latest Football News. I would like to underline the word ESPNSoccernet. This is because I want it to be clickable and it need to link to the website.

Need some guidance on doing this. If there is another way, do tell me...

Answer 1

for ios 6, you can use AttributedStrings

NSMutableAttributedString *yourString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Please click ESPNSoccernet to read the latest Football News."];
[yourString addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName
                        value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1]
                        range:(NSRange){0,25}];

label.attributedText = [yourString copy];

you can also use a 3rd party UILable library TTTAttributedLabel.
